Kid Cudi Joins The Cast Of Dreamworks ‘Need For Speed’ Adaptation

Another big name has been added to the cast of Dreamwork’s film adaptation of EA’s Need For Speed. The film, which will star Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) as Tobey Marshall, “sees Paul play a local street racer who, after being framed for the death of a friend, joins a New York-to-Los Angeles race to get revenge.”

Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi has just signed on to play Marshall’s best friend in the film. This isn’t the rapper and producer’s first time on screen though. He recently appeared in HBO’s How To Make It In America and the indie Two Night Stand as well as being rumored to be involved with the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. Mescudi will join Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malek and Harrison Gilbertson in the Scott Waugh (Act Of Valor) directed film.

 
Need For Speed is set to hit theaters February 17, 2014.
